Using the metro for South Delhi sights
The Magenta and Violet lines connect Jasola with different parts of South Delhi, and Kalkaji Mandir is the interchange between them. Use it to switch lines when a destination is served by the other route.
The Magenta Line serves Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh and includes Okhla Vihar, Jamia Millia Islamia, Sukhdev Vihar, Okhla NSIC, Kalkaji Mandir and Hauz Khas. If you are heading toward Okhla or Kalkaji, check the station sequence to make sure you board in the right direction.
The Violet Line serves Jasola Apollo and continues through Sarita Vihar, Mohan Estate, Tughlakabad and Kalkaji Mandir toward central Delhi. For a South Delhi visit that involves both lines, Kalkaji Mandir gives you a transfer point.

For journeys toward Noida, Amity University and Worlds of Wonder are possible destinations. Your onward journey from a metro station may need a separate road connection.
